Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, these people who circumambulate graves say, "We know that they do not benefit or harm, but we seek blessing from them. We pray to Allah and fast for Allah." This
Answer:
is the statement of the first polytheists: "Do they worship other than Allah that which does not benefit them or harm them?" Meaning, they acknowledge that they do not benefit or harm. They say, "These are our intercessors with Allah." They do not take them as intercessors because they benefit or harm, but only as intercessors. This is the statement of the polytheists, but these people do not read the Qur'an or reflect upon the Qur'an, may Allah protect us from that. Yes.
